The McLaren Artura Spider, a hybrid supercar, faced significant development challenges that resulted in multiple launch delays. To support its development, McLaren even sold a collection of classic cars.
Since its introduction in 2022, the coupe version has gained a strong market presence. Now, the new "Spider" variant is set to offer a convertible experience with several mechanical and aesthetic enhancements.
Powerful Engine Configuration
The Artura Spider features a 6-cylinder twin-turbo hybrid engine, delivering 690 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque. Enhancements have also been made to the vehicle's stability and responsiveness, with a 25% increase in transmission response time.
It accelerates from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.0 seconds and can reach a top speed of 330 km/h. The vehicle also offers an electric-only driving range of approximately 30 kilometers with a 7.3 kWh battery.
Comprehensive Mechanical Enhancements
McLaren has updated the carbon ceramic brakes and improved airflow within the engine, enhancing dynamic suspension response. The design was also modified to accommodate the new retractable roof.
Artura Spider deliveries begin in mid-2024, starting at $273,800 (SAR 1.02 million)
